广安市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列训练（83）【2016高考训练】阅读理解推理判断题。The word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you wont find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. Youre excited. You have all the preparations, Youve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if its in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “Whats the use?”We cant do anything.” “Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. Thats true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you dont really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.The language of reactive people is lie:”I cant .” “Dont have time.” I have to .” I must.” The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. Theyre not in charge of their life at all.On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them.1. According to the passage, a proactive persons behavior can result from .A. The environment B. an inner beliefC. the genetic makeup D. a temporary feeling2. When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably .A. have the picnic as plannedB. make the best of the picnicC. complain and give up the picnicD. find somewhere else for the picnic3. What does” carry weather within them” in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Manage to improve the weather.B. Give in to the weather passively.C. Stress the influence of the weather.D. Find a solution to the weather problems.4. It can be concluded from the passage that determinists(宿命论者) .A. accept things passivelyB. are in charge of themselvesC. are similar to proactive peopleD. respond to outside conditions actively语篇解读 本文主要介绍了积极的人和消极的的之间的区别，例如在遇到天气不好野餐计划搁浅的时候，积极的人会想办法进行野餐，而消极的人却由周围的环境左右其决定。1. B 细节理解题。根据第三段Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. You basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. 可知，积极主动是按照天性来做最真正的自己。人的本性是行动，而不是任人摆布。可知一个积极的人，他的行动源于他的内心和本性。故选B。2. C 细节理解题。根据第二段They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled. 可知，消极的人会试图说服他们周围的人并最后取消野餐。3. D 推理判断题。根据下文They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if its in their own basement with some special games 可知，当环境不得于计划的时候，积极的人会创造性的想出解决方法，达到目的。4. A 推理判断题。 根据第四段They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. 可知，消极的人认为事情是由环境决定的。又根据第二段野餐的例子可知，消极的人在面对计划不得不改变时，他们会抱怨但接受现实，而不会想办法去创造机会实现目标。阅读理解训练 (2015江西省上饶市三模)Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying CocaCola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有 泡 沫 的 ) drinks kills pests. Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicalsalthough soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional AgriResearch Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests, ”he says.Statements from Pepsi and CocaCola said there was “ no scientific basis” for this_practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “ For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen onelitre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. “ We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残 留 ) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by CocaCola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhibased Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一件有趣的事，印度农民认为有泡沫的饮料具有杀虫作用，也就是百事可乐和可口可乐里面含有杀虫剂，但两家公司对此予以否认。1The writers purpose of writing this passage is to _.

I was a bit nervous, but I knew some of our friends were already into it, and they said it was fine and that I should relax because everyone was doing it.“OK,” I agreed, convinced it would be harmless._B_Before long, we were using it once a week. Then it became twice a week. We went from using it after work to using it in the mornings, and then at lunchtime, too.Suddenly we reached a point where we were using it every day. Even when I wasnt using it, I was thinking about using it. _C_Thats when I realized the terrible truth. We couldnt stop.Dear readers, it shames me to admit it, but I am an addict of online shopping site Taobao.And I dont think Im the only one. _D_ I see the telltale signs every where: People with bags under their eyes, clearly exhausted after staying up late browsing items they might one day need (but probably wont)，like the 1940s leather aviator cap I bought in the event I ever need to become an aviator in the 1940s. I see co-workers furtively (偷偷摸摸地）sneaking down to the mailroom, eyes darting around suspiciously.I know whats going through your mind as you read this.“This isnt me，” youre thinking, “I can stop anytime I want.”But can you?In China you can get same day delivery for just about anything you buy online. In Australia, my home country, the same item would take weeks to arrive.“Its the convenience, I said to my fiance. “Thats why were hooked.”But is that convenience worth the risk of waking up one morning to discover youve been buried alive in masses of brand new womens shoes?In my case its probably not, especially because I suspect my fiance wont realize Im missing until weeks later, when my credit card stops working and Ive long since expired.So what can you do to battle this terrible addiction?Never fear, dear reader
